About the Item

Engraving on hand laid (verge) paper. Watermark: Coat of arms. Schuyten diemen te Goa, en Cochyn, gebruyckt om te visschen, [...]' - (Ships that are being used in Goa and Cochin for fishing, one cut from wood, the other from twigs, bound together with ropes. The first one is named Almadias and the others Tones en Paleguas, which are prsent in great numbers, loaded with jars filled with fresh water to sell to ships.) Numbered '58 en 59' (page numbers). From a French ed. of 'Itenerario […].': 'Histoire de la Navigation de Jean Hughes de Linschot aux Indes Orientales. […]', by H. v. Linschoten, 3rd. ed., published in Amsterdam by Evert Cloppenburgh in 1638. This work informed Europeans of the 16th century Portuguese trade and navigation in south Asia. This opened the way for Dutch (Indonesia) and English (India) colonization. The work consists of 3 parts; the first focused on Goa, the Portugese hub in India and related trade and navigation. It also exposed opportunities in the East Indies. The second part describes the navigation of the coasts of West Africa around the Cape of Good Hope to Arabia, together with the coasts of the New World, and island to island in the East Indies. The third book covers Florida, the Caribbean, and Brazil (Description de l'Amerique ...). The work was first published in Dutch in 1595/6. Later editions incorporated the work of Bernard Paludanus (1550-1633), and others. Linschoten's maps are among the earliest maps to show the region of south Asia in detail. Artists and Engravers: Made by The Van Doetecum Brothers after Jan Huygen van Linschoten. The Van Doetecum Brothers were active in Antwerp and later in the Northern Netherlands in the second half of the 16th. Century. Joannes van Doetechum / Deutecum / Deutekum / Deutechum the elder (c.1570-1630) was a Dutch 16th. c. engraver and editor from Deventer. He is the brother and worked with the engraver Lucas van Doetechum. He is the father of the engraver and printer Baptista van Doetechum and Johannes van Deutechum the younger. Jan Huygen van Linschoten (ca. 1563-1611) was a Dutch bookkeeper, merchant, explorer, draughtsman and author, who was instrumental for the development of Dutch exploration into Asia. He copied secret Portugese seacharts and is particularly known for his work: 'Itinerario, voyage ofte schipvaert, naer Oost ofte Portugaels Indien inhoudende een corte beschryvinghe der selver landen ende zee-custen.' The geographic, botanical, historic and ethnic elements in his books are mostly based on earlier Portuguese sources.
